Chris is a really good guy to listen to for anyone trying to understand FSDb because he remains objective about it. He's also incredibly mellow, which helps a ton with monitoring FSDb. He makes a great point about Ross Gerber not being a good FSDb tester; Ross didn't brake when he should have at that stop sign. If he had, the entire thing would have been a non-event. If Chris had been the driver, that's exactly what would have happened. The entire thing would have been a mellow intervention, end of story.
I disagree with Chris's observation about how the whole thing would impact someone who was new to the whole autonomy thing. "First impressions are lasting ones" is the saying, and it's an observation of human nature. Anyone seeing the stop sign video - accompanied by appropriate alarmist language - is going to have that as their starting point. Chris would go off and find out what about it is true. All too many people will just accept that first impression as truth and then see if they can find corroborating information. They won't google for "Tesla FSD". They'll look for "Is Tesla FSD dangerous?"
